Waters Edge Review
Leaving will be the hardest part of a stay in one of Therese and Edi's holiday villas, which have lots of special touches, quirky artifacts, and modern comforts. The owners will happily leave you alone to enjoy the harbor outlook, the subtropical gardens, and bushy dell. But they'll be just as keen to take you kayaking to a hidden waterfall, drive you to the surfing beach, or send you for a walk to the fishing wharf where you can buy the day's catch to barbecue back at your villa. A breakfast of generous, home-cooked treats can be arrangement for an additional price. Edi speaks German.
